Our Activities

Annually

• "East Meets West" (EMW) of Arkansas Lunar New Year Luncheon: The EMW is our largest annual in-person gathering, bringing together representatives of the business and Asian communities to celebrate the Lunar New Year in Little Rock. Our 2025 lunch event also marked a major milestone for the AAAB: we announced the winners of the first-ever Arkansas Asian-Owned Business Award (AOBA).
• "Global Talent of Arkansas" (GTAF) Forum: Held each fall, the GTAF convenes business-minded individuals across industries and cultures for dialogue on Asian economic trends and opportunities, attracting and managing global talent in Arkansas, and building stronger cultural bridges between Asia and Arkansas.

Quarterly

• "Arkansas-Asia Briefing": A virtual gathering that convenes local entrepreneurs and leaders to share their perspectives and insights on key topics impacting the business landscape in Arkansas.

Year-round

• Community partnership and collaboration—if you have ideas, we'd love to hear from you!
